Aug. 29th, 2013 06:44 pmThe Lutece twins are complex characters, together or individual. Through the game, wikipedia provided information, and fan- theories, I'm doing my best to learn what I can about them. To understand exactly how I perceive (my) Luteces, I will provide links of the information I use and collective notes that I have taken on them, including their individual profiles.

Any advice or suggestions are gladly accepted when is concerns the twins. Seeing as their capabilities, even existence, continues to confuse even after several glances, it's very possible that I'm missing something or that I'm interpreting a detail incorrectly. Please correct me! :)

Most children at young ages can hardly grasp the concept of the world, let alone other worlds in the universe. You'd think it nearly impossible for them to understand the possibility of parallel universes existing simultaneously with our own. That— through the many-worlds interpretation— a you exists that isn't yourself. That there are constants in each world and variables that make them differ from the other universes paralleling it.
Rosalind Lutece on the other hand was entirely fascinated by the idea.
As she grew to understand the sciences, Rosalind began to experiment with quantum mechanics. From this she learned how to suspend a single atom midair. It was after this discovery that Zachary Hale Comstock took interest in Rosalind's work and agreed to fund a project which later evolved into levitating large complex objects to form the city of Columbia. This accomplishment inspired Rosalind to keep experimenting in her bizarre discovery of the Lutece Field, more commonly known as Quantum Levitation.
Morse code. A series of on-off tones. Traveling through space and time itself. This was Robert Lutece.
Entangling her own quantum atom with waves of light, Rosalind was able to open a barrier through space-time in order to contact her other self. With further experimentation, the Lutece Field formed into a Lutece Tear between realities in which Robert Lutece could then cross over. On October 15th, 1893, Rosalind Lutece was now sister to her male counterpart, Robert Lutece and together they created a complex contraption that would allow active use of the Tears.
Comstock, still funding the Luteces projects, decided to actively use the device in order to see other realities in order to make predictions about the future. (With this ability, he deemed himself the Prophet of Columbia.) Though the constant exposure to the machine had adverse affects on his genetics— rapidly aging him and sterilizing him. Outraged that his bloodline could no longer carry the 'throne' of the prophet, Comstock used the Luteces to retrieve his daughter from another reality.
This reality belonged to Booker DeWitt, where Robert Lutece convinced him to give up his own daughter Anna DeWitt in order to wipe away massive gambling debts. The event nearly resulted in the twins' separation, but they successfully retrieved Booker's daughter for Comstock. The Luteces found that Anna, now named Elizabeth, had the ability to open Tears without the use of their machine. Realizing that Elizabeth would eventually use her powers to bring the destruction of New York City, Robert demanded that Rosalind assist him in righting their wrong by returning Elizabeth to her original universe.
Comstock soon heard about their plot and ordered Jeramiah Fink to sabotage their machine. Even though Comstock then declared them dead, they were not. Instead they were scattered across space and time, able to traverse it at will and continued to carry out their plan to save the NYC.
From here they offer Booker DeWitt a chance at redemption; To be with his daughter again. But Booker was unable to comprehend the possibility of crossing through a tear, in a way the alternate reality rejecting his very existence, the shock to his mind cause a sort of amnesia to the event prior to entering the new reality. In response, Booker's mind created false memories to explain his existence in the rowboat the Luteces had pulled Booker onto. The memories were of a gambling debtthe twenty years of guilt that needed to be repaid.
When I was a girl, I dreamt of standing in a room
looking at a girl who was and was not myself, who
stood looking at another girl, who also was and was
not myself. My mother took this for a nightmare. I
saw it as the beginning of a career in physics.

regarding monument island
Aug. 29th, 2013 10:40 pmAs theorized/explained by Vanthe.
Hey! I’ve been doing a massive amount of research for side projects and fics and stuff, so I thought I’d help clarify things.
Elizabeth was brought to Columbia in 1893 (per the plaque in the Hall of Heroes). Her date of birth is listed to be 1892, making her 1 when she brought to Columbia.
Around January of 1895, Lady Comstock can no longer handle this business with Elizabeth, who is now around 2-3. She visits Rosalind and demands that Elizabeth be removed from Comstock House.
It can be assumed Lady Comstock is murdered not long after this, because her year of death is listed as 1895. If she was not killed immediately after this conversation, it’s highly likely Comstock arranged to have Elizabeth put in the tower at this time too. Testing on her power is documented since 2 years of age.
Monument Island is also known to have been in existence in 1895, because Fink mentions it in his voxophone about constructing Songbird as a protector for it.
Now, Comstock has also made it known to the public that the “Miracle Child” is being held in the Tower. Perhaps to mask the true reason of its construction and purpose, he has it used as a symbolic gateway into the city. The high influx of immigrants would hide the traffic of scientists into the Tower that are observing Elizabeth.
And it was used for immigrants for a time. Right after Booker gets the telegram from Lutece about the raffle, there are two citizens looking at the statue in the distance, commenting about it. Here is the in-game transcript:
During this time, the effects of the Siphon causing cancer and other dangers would have been noticed (example of Samuel Gerst), and the facilty would have become unsafe. To quarantine the zone, they stopped the passage of the public through it. Many rumors spread because of it, like a plague or somesort.

Around January of 1895, Lady Comstock can no longer handle this business with Elizabeth, who is now around 2-3. She visits Rosalind and demands that Elizabeth be removed from Comstock House.
[Evidence supported by the tear in Lutece Labs:
- Tear Transcript:
Lady Comstock: You! You whore!
Rosalind: I assure you Madam, my sexual interest in your dear prophet is nonexistent. Further more, the man is quite sterile.
LC: That’s a lie! Come and get your little bastard! I want her out of my house.
Rosalind: I assure you Madam, my sexual interest in your dear prophet is nonexistent. Further more, the man is quite sterile.
LC: That’s a lie! Come and get your little bastard! I want her out of my house.
- Rosalind’s Voxaphone 063: Child of Science- “Lady Comstock seems to believe the child is a result of some errant act of carnality between myself and her beloved Prophet. I told the poor woman the truth: that the child was a product of our little contraption. But I think she found that less believable than her delusion.” January 4, 1895
It can be assumed Lady Comstock is murdered not long after this, because her year of death is listed as 1895. If she was not killed immediately after this conversation, it’s highly likely Comstock arranged to have Elizabeth put in the tower at this time too. Testing on her power is documented since 2 years of age.
Monument Island is also known to have been in existence in 1895, because Fink mentions it in his voxophone about constructing Songbird as a protector for it.
- 051: A Child Needs a Protector “These holes have shown me yet another wonder, though I’ve yet to see the application for it. They illuminate a merger of machine and man that is somehow the lesser, yet the greater, of both parties. The process seems to be irreversible. Perhaps, though, Comstock will have some need of this kind of thing to keep watch in that tower of his.” Jeremiah Fink, Oct 4, 1895
Now, Comstock has also made it known to the public that the “Miracle Child” is being held in the Tower. Perhaps to mask the true reason of its construction and purpose, he has it used as a symbolic gateway into the city. The high influx of immigrants would hide the traffic of scientists into the Tower that are observing Elizabeth.
And it was used for immigrants for a time. Right after Booker gets the telegram from Lutece about the raffle, there are two citizens looking at the statue in the distance, commenting about it. Here is the in-game transcript:
Citizen 1: Ain’t she a beauty.
Citizen 2: You know, that’s where all the immigrants used to pass through.
Video @ 24:50
Also, looking back at Elizabeth’s power chart, there is evidence that the Siphon wasn’t installed until much later, around 1906-7, when Elizabeth reaches puberty at age 14 and her powers increased exponentially.Citizen 2: You know, that’s where all the immigrants used to pass through.
Video @ 24:50
During this time, the effects of the Siphon causing cancer and other dangers would have been noticed (example of Samuel Gerst), and the facilty would have become unsafe. To quarantine the zone, they stopped the passage of the public through it. Many rumors spread because of it, like a plague or somesort.
- 062: Pen Pal- ”This is for the Miracle Child. Hello! I’m sorry your mother, Lady Comstock, is dead. (I think she is altogether better than mine.) Since you live there, can you tell me why the tower has been closed? People say it’s poor weather, then the pox, then a haunting. If it is a secret, I promise not to tell a soul. — Your pen friend, Constance.” Constance Field

Bring us the girl. Wipe away the debt.
Personality:
As a young girl, Rosalind's fascination with quantum mechanics and competency of the science was met with strict disapproval from all audiences. While her mother much preferred her to be brought up traditionally, Rosalind quickly distanced herself from her family ties in order to progress with her interests. This led to her becoming of a sort of social introvert, whereas long conversations quickly became awkward due to a sort of superiority complex. After growing into a mold of a genius mind, she published her research and quickly found that if she did not hide her female-status that she would be taken as weak or frail among her male colleagues. In order to progress her work without slander, as most female scientists had tendency to do at the time, Rosalind simplified her publishing credit to "R. Lutece".
Partially due to the gradual disconnection from her own feminine emotions, she found that the needs of the few outweighed the needs of the many. In particular, her needs outweighed everyone else's. Her ideals of being logically realistic may have led to the occasional morally unethical decision throughout the duration of her original research. And though Rosalind only means to better the world with her scientific knowledge, on several occasions has her lack of empathy shown to possibly threaten lives around her; like the agreement with Comstock to kidnap Booker's only daughter although it meant kidnapping Booker's only daughter. If it weren't for Robert support and opinion, she may have gone to much greater lengths in other situations.
Robert Lutece was essentially Rosalind's rock and cure for her probable introvertism. Around her brother, Rosalind no longer needed to put up the a strong facade in order to express her opinions; allowing her to openly feel what she wanted to feel and speak was she desired. Though she never let down the walls entirely, often times arguing with Robert rather than agreeing with him, they both knew that she was much happier with him around. Her connection to Robert reflected a stronger connection with herself. Finding a piece of her personality that she had long since locked away and, without Robert, may have never needed again.

Her connection to Robert reflected a stronger connection with herself. Finding a piece of her personality that she had long since locked away and, without Robert, may have never needed again.
Fear:
For nearly her entire life, Rosalind had been fairly solitary in her research. And her greatest accomplishment was not just the creation of the Lutece Field but Robert Lutece himself; Bringing another human being into another world through a Tear they both happened to create together. Robert Lutece instantly became the brother that Rosalind never had. A brother that she would rather die for than be separated from. Having someone who understands literally every aspect, thought, and idea is all she wanted. Now that she had Robert, it is definitely her greatest fear to be separated from him.
If anything were to happen to Robert Lutece, concern for her brother wouldn't set in until she were absolutely sure something had happened to him. Likely having a conversation with Robert about her about her near-obsession with him, it's possible that he requested moments of privacy where she not be involved; out of respect for his personal space, Rosalind agreed to leave him be for short periods of time without questioning his whereabouts. But even after some time, she becomes concerned and after she comes to the conclusion that something is wrong she'll likely begin searching for him immediately. Without her transdimensional powers to help her travel around and look for him, Rosalind is likely to tire of the excessive exposure to conversing with others, which would normally be a short affair now extended uncomfortably in duration.

Without her transdimensional powers to help her travel around and look for him, Rosalind is likely to tire of the excessive exposure to conversing with others, which would normally be a short affair now extended uncomfortably in duration.
Weaknesses:
Rosalind learned to hide her weaknesses at a young age— Seeing that she couldn't afford to expose her femininity lest she risk damaging her reputation as a strong woman of the sciences. She rarely expresses her true feelings, often disguising them with sarcasm or wit. There are always small moments where Rosalind will let slip a small remark of sympathy or lighthearted humor or even real concern for the situation; such as when Robert was at risk of being separated from Rosalind in Booker's reality. She desperately attempted to coax him through before their contraption failed and separated them indefinitely. With that said, her only real weakness is her affection for her brother Robert.
Even Rosalind's decision to betray Comstock (and ultimately end their research) was made simply for the love for her brother. Although she didn't support the idea of 'righting their wrong' as Robert believed, she understood that her brother shared in her stubbornness and that he would continue with his plan even if she did not. Once describing their existence as a single entity separated by a single chromosome, the thought of being separated indefinitely from her only 'sibling' was a worse alternative than losing Comstock's funding for their research.

Mundane Strengths/Abilities:
Rosalind's defining strength is her advanced knowledge in the field of physics. After stabilizing the Lutece Field, suspending the expansive city of Columbia midair, she was then able to create portals through other dimensions through the use of the Lutece Tears. Along with the help of Robert Lutece, the twins created a 'contraption' that allowed frequent, if slightly inconsistent use of these Tears. Not only that, but she was able to supress the raw power of Elizabeth's ability to create Tears through a series of experiments and devices to deter Elizabeth's power from manifesting.
Due to the nature of women of the late 1800's, Rosalind was most likely trained by her mother in common housewife duties. As much as she may have rejected this conformity in lieu of her field of study, most of these lessons stuck in Rosalind's mind simply for necessity. Her organization skills are neat, clothes washing is effective, and cooking is simple yet sensible. There was also a chance that she was given far-and-few lessons on singing, sewing, dancing, etc. How well these extracurricular activities stuck with Rosalind are relatively unknown but assumed to be fair.

Sensitivity/Magical Ability:
While in-canon both of the Luteces are considered deceased, they are both capable of traveling through space and time at will. This ability will be nerfed to naught in-game. They may be more prone to understanding the physics of various space and time-related anomalies, such as manifested deja vu or instantaneous time-lapses, but will be unable to participate in a way they are accustomed. At the least, they will be able to recognize signs of memory loss due to time-lapsing or teleportation and prescribed their best scientific advice or reasoning.

Sample RP post:
Remembering for a moment how much she hated such social events, Rosalind couldn't think of how Robert had convinced her to speak at this ridiculous science faire in the plaza down the road. Children shouting at each other over fair games, women all dolled up talking about their latest fashion sense or husbands off at war on the continents far below them- it was all enough to convince her that she certainly didn't belong in this sort of crowd.
"It isn't any we're here." Robert politely reminded her anytime she appeared to get a little too antsy. And he was correct, as much as she begged to disagree. Perhaps it was Comstock's mailed invitation that brought them here to this loud happening, but that wasn't enough to convince her that everyone attending the event was here to hear about their work over the social nature of the gathering; The games and drinks, the meeting of friends and family to blindly support another symbol of Columbia.
The Luteces were celebrities of Columbia. They were geniuses. And everyone was ignorantly fascinated by that. While the twins were asked for their intellect, no one but the twins were interested in their own research. Any attempt at explaining the theorem supporting the Lutece Field was met with confused silence or a collective of ignorant awe.
'Ignorant' seemed to be a word that frequented Rosalind's mind quite often actually. Maybe that's why she noticed that her tone during their presentation was slightly more condescending than usual, though the crowd didn't seem to catch on to it. Instead they remained a silent crowd of sheep, baaing with excitement after one of the twins made another impressive scientific reveal.
After the presentation was complete, the twins were meet with a small crowd of true fans. The ones most interested in the science or the recently obtained Elizabeth, Lamb of Columbia. After a few genuinely interesting inquires from older men Rosalind almost missed the presence of a young girl. Eight at the most.
Curious, yet still flustered from the past few hours, Rosalind kneeled down carefully to the girl's level with a weak attempt of a smile.
"Did you enjoy the show?" She had a horrid feeling this girl simply wanted an autograph on one of the fliers they'd been passing out all afternoon. But she may as well humor the child.
"Oh my, yes! I'm still so confused and fascinated with how you first discovered the Lutece Field! Even after reading your book, I'm still so perplexed..."
That was a surprise to Rosalind. Even Robert who had been answering another elderly man's questions couldn't resist looking over to the girl just briefly. "You've read my book, have you? That's good to hear. Not many girls your age have quite the same interest in the science as I did when I was young."
"I have! Mother didn't like me reading it at first but I sleep with it at night..."
"It is perfectly alright to read what you like. What is your name?"
"My name is Constance, Miss Lutece. Constance Field."
"It isn't any we're here." Robert politely reminded her anytime she appeared to get a little too antsy. And he was correct, as much as she begged to disagree. Perhaps it was Comstock's mailed invitation that brought them here to this loud happening, but that wasn't enough to convince her that everyone attending the event was here to hear about their work over the social nature of the gathering; The games and drinks, the meeting of friends and family to blindly support another symbol of Columbia.

While the twins were asked for their intellect, no one but the twins were interested in their own research. Any attempt at explaining the theorem supporting the Lutece Field was met with confused silence or a collective of ignorant awe.
'Ignorant' seemed to be a word that frequented Rosalind's mind quite often actually. Maybe that's why she noticed that her tone during their presentation was slightly more condescending than usual, though the crowd didn't seem to catch on to it. Instead they remained a silent crowd of sheep, baaing with excitement after one of the twins made another impressive scientific reveal.
After the presentation was complete, the twins were meet with a small crowd of true fans. The ones most interested in the science or the recently obtained Elizabeth, Lamb of Columbia. After a few genuinely interesting inquires from older men Rosalind almost missed the presence of a young girl. Eight at the most.
Curious, yet still flustered from the past few hours, Rosalind kneeled down carefully to the girl's level with a weak attempt of a smile.
"Did you enjoy the show?" She had a horrid feeling this girl simply wanted an autograph on one of the fliers they'd been passing out all afternoon. But she may as well humor the child.
"Oh my, yes! I'm still so confused and fascinated with how you first discovered the Lutece Field! Even after reading your book, I'm still so perplexed..."
That was a surprise to Rosalind. Even Robert who had been answering another elderly man's questions couldn't resist looking over to the girl just briefly. "You've read my book, have you? That's good to hear. Not many girls your age have quite the same interest in the science as I did when I was young."
"I have! Mother didn't like me reading it at first but I sleep with it at night..."
"It is perfectly alright to read what you like. What is your name?"
"My name is Constance, Miss Lutece. Constance Field."
